Lawyer in the Library

Free legal assistance is provided by a volunteer lawyer from the Alameda County Bar Association. The attorney will consult to define your problem, advise you of your options, get you started with a solution, and make a referral when needed.

The Dublin Library will start taking sign-ups for the Lawyer in the Library one week before the lawyer's appearance. Advance registration is required.

In registering for an appointment, you agree to the following limitations and conditions:

Your appointment must be used to talk about your own legal issues.

Your appointment is for a maximum 15 minutes.

You must arrive 5 minutes early to check in at the Reference Desk to secure your appointment. Latecomers forfeit their appointment.

You have not had an appointment within the past six months. A no-show is considered an appointment.

You will bring any paperwork pertaining to your case when you come to see the lawyer.

This free consultation is not intended to, and does not establish, a continuing attorney/client relationship. The volunteer attorney can only provide brief consultation and referrals (as necessary). The volunteer will not represent you in any matter.

If you understand and agree to these terms, you may ask to sign up for a 15-minute appointment at the Adult Reference Desk or by calling 925-803-7252.

The Library is wheelchair accessible. TTY or an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter will be provided for this program if requested at least 7 days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or accessibility@aclibrary.org. Events subject to change or cancellation without prior notice.
